* Daum Frères:
Following the 1870 war, Jean Daum (1825 - 1885), a notary in Bitche, sold his practice and opted for France. He settled in Nancy in 1876 and bought a glassworks in 1878. In 1878, he joined forces with his son Auguste. On his death in 1885, Auguste took over sole management of the glassworks, before being joined in 1887 by his brother Antonin. The glassworks' production shifted towards artistic creation. Between 1889 and 1891, the two brothers prepared the creation of an artistic department, which was entrusted to Antonin. Auguste gave him all the resources he needed to follow in Émile Gallé's footsteps in Art Nouveau glassmaking. The 1900 Exposition Universelle brought international recognition with the award of a Grand Prix. In 1901, Daum, along with artists Majorelle and E.Gallé, founded the Ecole de Nancy, the spearhead of Art Nouveau. The company continued to participate in major exhibitions: Barcelona in 1923, Exposition internationale des Arts déco in Paris in 1925, Exposition coloniale in Paris in 1931. In the 1920s, Paul shifted production to Art Deco as public interest in Art Nouveau waned. The company still exists today, and is internationally renowned for the quality of its creations.
